According to the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change service, 2024 is set to be yet another hottest year ever recorded... [Originally published in Synapse on December 8, 2005.] Following the ...

This valuable study reports the existence of specific spike-timing dependent synaptic plasticity processes at two excitatory synapses of the dentate gyrus granule cells. These synapses link the ...

This important study introduces rationally designed, genetically encoded tools for the selective and reversible ablation of excitatory and inhibitory synapses. The evidence is convincing, supported by ...

Neuroscience is a multidisciplinary science that is concerned with the study of the structure and function of the nervous system. It encompasses the evolution, development, cellular and molecular ...

There, they begin to form connections with other neurons. The process of forming these connections, or synapses, is called synaptogenesis. It occurs rapidly in the months before and after birth ...

Rapid-acting antidepressant interventions, such as ketamine and psilocybin, are thought to enhance neural plasticity. This Review outlines evidence of synaptic deficits in individuals with major ...
